I'm a fan of absurdist comedy shows like South Park, Black Dynamite and Robot Chicken and this is literally (not figuratively) one of the best shows I've ever seen on TV. Highly recommended. Excellent voice acting, memorable characters and some of the best writing you'll find on any show. Period. I'd literally (not figuratively) give it 30,000 stars if I could.
